“…This association seems to be rather robust because research employing a diverse array of methodologies, including latent profile analysis, state space grids, and social network analysis, have consistently reached the same conclusion. It may be time to move beyond merely linking family contexts to child adjustment concurrently and start exploring over-time changes in family dynamics and how these changes may impact later trajectories of child development (Teti & Fosco, 2021).…”

The ways in which marital relationships (MR) affect parent-child relationships (PCR) vary from day-to-day and differ from one family to another. The day-to-day fluctuations of MR-PCR associations and the between-family differences, however, have been largely overlooked in the literature. Using daily diary data from 152 mother-father couples (with a 7-to 17-year-old child) across three consecutive years, we identified typologies based on parents' daily relational dynamics and examined the association between family typologies and child adjustment. State space grids of daily relationship quality (i.e., MR and PCR) were constructed for each parent at each wave of assessment. Grid-sequence analysis was subsequently conducted to identify multiple family typologies, including cohesive, fluctuating cohesive, spillover, compensatory, and moderate relationship typologies. Some typologies changed over the years and differed for fathers and mothers (e.g., the compensatory typology). Child adjustment problems were the highest in children from families with poor MR and PCR quality (i.e., the spillover typology). Overall, our results evince the heterogeneous nature of family relationship dynamics and the developmental implications of these typologies. For practitioners and therapists who work with families, our findings highlight the value of improving marital and parent-child relationship quality in promoting positive child outcomes.

“…Finally, Teti and Fosco (2021) suggest that any conceptual model that outlines a family and developmental process, like racial socialization, should incorporate context as a key feature. The integration of context helps to "establish parameters around and set limits on the universality of theoretical predictions" (Teti & Fosco, 2021). Accordingly, the MRB-SM situates racial socialization within the micro-context of the Multiracial-Black nuclear family and the broader ecological environments that they exist within (Bronfenbrenner, 1992).…”

The Multiracial‐Black Socialization Model: Conceptualizing racial socialization in Multiracial‐Black families

Scholars have spent the last four decades expanding the theoretical understanding of parental racial socialization—or parent–child communication about race. What is largely absent from existing conceptualizations, however, is a consideration for how the practice manifests in Multiracial families. The interracial structure of Multiracial families complicates racial socialization in ways that are not being captured in empirical research due to the overreliance on universal frameworks. It is imperative that we close this theoretical gap as the proportion of Multiracial families in the United States is expanding at record rates. Accordingly, we present the Multiracial‐Black Socialization Model (MRB‐SM) in this paper. The MRB‐SM is designed explicitly for Multiracial‐Black families, one of the fastest‐growing sub‐groups of Multiracial families. The model builds upon the strengths of universal socialization theories by outlining the content, process, and context components of racial socialization in Multiracial‐Black families. The implications for research are discussed.
